Woman dies in traffic crash in N. Harris County

A woman died when she was thrown from her car during a traffic crash in north Harris County early Friday morning.

Elizabeth Villa died in the single-car wreck which happened about 2:30 a.m. in the 12400 block of N. Houston Rosslyn, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said Villa was rushed in critical condition to Houston Northwest Medical Center, where she died about an hour later.

Deputies said Villa was driving her 2005 Nissan Maxima northbound on N. Houston Rosslyn when she failed to stay in a single lane, hit a concrete curb, left the road, careened into a construction site and slammed into a pile of dirt and the side of a concrete building.

Villa was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the car, deputies said.
